    I can feel Lisa’s passion for helping women recover from abuse. She’s angry and very direct because this is literally killing women.

  • Excellent Take on Emotional Abuse

    I’m a licensed therapist, as well as a fellow survivor of emotional abuse. Lisa’s deep dives are both insightful and accurate in terms of the insidious nature of psychological abuse, exposing the men (and the culture) that promote abuse of women beneath the mask of love and intimacy; Excellent and important work.

  • Great podcast!

    I love how real Lisa is. She gets where we have been (or still are). It’s so refreshing to hear the truth. But in a positive way with advice to move fwd. Because nobody wants to be a victim.. but it often feels like there’s no hope against these ppl. It is very easy to get discouraged. But DON’T ..

    Listen to this great platform , pray, and take your power back! You are not alone…
